Pro gaming tournament sets sights on U.S.

The news
that the World Cyber Games
is headed for Seattle in
2007 goes hand-in-hand with this recent announcement of a new U.S. office for the WCG. Headed up by Michael Arzt,
the office serves to show quite how much faith pro gaming leagues like the WCG have in the American market.

While professional gaming as a career is mostly associated with Eastern countries, especially Korea, it's been
rising in profile in the West recently. As well as the World Cyber Games, the Major League Gaming (MLG) and
Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) tournaments are going strong--if you've got the
skill and the dedication, there's some serious money to be won in gaming nowadays.
